After being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015, the White House called Hamilton “one of the most influential voices on international relations and American national security” during his 40-year career.

Arguably the most influential politician to ever come out of Evansville, Lee Hamilton belongs to a bygone, less toxic era in which he and Richard Lugar, another fabled Indiana politician, reached across the aisle and worked in a bipartisan way.

After choosing not to seek re-election, Hamilton headed the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars and has been regularly asked to lend his expertise to various national commissions. He was vice chairman of the commission that investigated the 9/11 terrorist attacks and co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group.Hamilton also served on President George W. Bush's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board and many other advisory panels.
